Ever since my boys were just babies, Cloud b has been one of my very favourite toy companies. Its innovative products help encourage a peaceful sleeping environment while also helping children to feel safe and comfortable in bed. From the Mimicking Monkey to the Twilight Sea Turtle, my boys have had a Cloud b animal friend in their beds for years.

Now, the company has introduced a brand new line of plush friends to the Cloud b family…Twilight Buddies! These adorable and huggable animals feature a built-in projection light that creates a pattern of stars on the ceiling at bedtime. I received the Twilight Buddies Palomino to review and I fell in love with the cuddly creature as soon as I pulled it out of the box. [Read more…]

It took a long time for my boys to be willing to go to sleep without me in the room and even though I’ve finally reached the point that I can cuddle them for a few minutes and then leave before they’ve actually fallen asleep, they still both sometimes have nights in which they’re tossing and turning instead of settling down quietly. That is, until a fun new friend came to my rescue! Brobo, the huggable night-light is a plush toy robot that is perfect for cuddling up with at bedtime. I received two of the Brobo toys to review and I couldn’t wait to see what the boys thought of them.

Of the toys we received, Benjamin chose Brobo the Robot and Zackary chose Mumu the Mummy. The toys run on three AAA batteries and once I had the batteries installed, it took me a few minutes to figure out how to turn the lights on and off on the toys. To avoid accidentally turning on the light, the toys are operated with the help of a sensor that’s embedded into the hand of the robots. Simply touch the toy’s hand to its stomach and the light powers on. One more touch dims the light and a final tap turns off the toy. Because kids can be notorious for not turning off lights, I was happy to see that the Brobo plush toys also included an automatic shut-off feature after five minutes.

For a long time, my boys didn’t use nightlights but lately I’ve found that a little light makes our bedtime routine easier. Zackary stays up on his own in his room while I put Benjamin to bed and Benjamin often wakes up in the middle of the night needing to use the bathroom. So when MOBI Technologies contacted me and gave me the chance to review its adorable AnimaLamps, I was ecstatic. I’ve been a fan of MOBI products for years and the lamps looked like they would be the perfect things to add a little light to my boys’ rooms at bedtime.

MOBI AnimaLamps come in three fun animal styles: Bunny, Monkey and Giraffe. We received the giraffe and monkey styles to review and each boy chose their favourite. Benjamin decided that the giraffe was perfect for him and Zackary adored the monkey. I plugged in the lamps to charge and when bedtime arrived, both boys were eager to test out their new lights.

The MOBI AnimaLamp has so many features that make it perfect for a child’s room. First of all, the lamps are cordless and rechargeable. I loved having the freedom to put the animals up on a dresser or let my boys hold them in the bed. The cool-running LED lights are safe for small children and the switch on the lamps just requires a slight tap to turn the lamp on and off. [Read more…]
